AASHE Campus Sustainability Hub

Earth and environmental sciences (EES) is a multi-disciplinary field that addresses the interactions between humans and the environment. Study in this field includes an understanding of the basic principles that govern geological, biological, and chemical interactions, as well as the applied context of developing solutions to current environmental problems. The earth and environmental sciences curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation in both earth science and environmental science and to support coursework in chemistry and biology. The B.A. program is designed to provide a broad background in the fundamentals of earth science for students who plan careers in secondary education, business, law, and other areas, or wish to pursue a double major. The B.S. program is intended for students who plan graduate work in earth or environmental sciences and thus require additional upper-level EES courses and additional preparation in mathematics. Those seeking secondary certification in earth science have additional course requirements and must plan a course of study in consultation with faculty advisors from both the Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Education Departments.
